this capability to exist for no more than
3 years.
Likely Respondents: Any entity
providing health services to patients
and or collecting health information on
consumers which includes but is not
limited to: hospitals, physicians, labs,

immunization registries, and state
health information exchanges.
Respondents will also include
application developers with the
capability to consume health
information in a structured format from
a patient.
Burden Statement: Organizations that
would like to be listed on the Connector
will fill out a 3–5 minute survey of nine

questions. The survey will ask health
data holding organizations to provide
basic information about their access
capabilities, reach, contact information
and links to where patients could go to
get their health data. The total annual
burden hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.

Community Assessment for Public
Health Emergency Response
(CASPER)—New—National Center for
Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC requests a three-year approval for
a new Generic Information Collection
Request (ICR) for the Community
Assessment for Public Health
Emergency Response (CASPER).
CASPER is an effective public health
tool designed to quickly provide lowcost, household-based information
about a community’s needs and health
status in a simple, easy-to-understand
format for decision-makers. A CASPER
can be conducted any time the public
health needs of a community are not

well known, including as part of
disaster/emergency response to help
inform decision making and distribution
of resources, or in non-emergency
settings to assess the public health
needs of a community. In all situations,
CASPER provides timely public health
information that is essential when
engaging in sound public health action.
In order for a CASPER to be initiated
by CDC, a state, local, tribal, or
territorial jurisdiction must first invite
CDC to participate in a CASPER.
Communities are identified by local,
state, or regional emergency managers
and health department officers. The
process for conducting a CASPER
includes planning and preparation, field
work, analysis, and sharing results with
stakeholders. Planning can take 24
hours to several months depending on
the type of CASPER being conducted.
Field work takes approximately five
days. Due to emergency situations under
which CASPERs are often requested by
states (e.g., hurricane response, oil
spill), it is important that CDC has the
ability to gain urgent approval for data
collection.
The CASPER uses a validated
statistical methodology that includes a
two-stage probability sampling
technique to collect information from a
representative sample of 210
households in the community. Within
the community, 30 clusters (typically
census tracts) are selected based on
probability proportional to size and,
within each cluster, seven households
are randomly selected for interview.
Participation in a CASPER
questionnaire is voluntary. Consenting
participants are not provided incentives

for participating in the survey. Face-toface interviews, usually taking 30
minutes or less, with one adult (≥ 18
years of age) from a selected household
are recorded on paper or in electronic
form. In general, yes/no and multiple
choice questions are used to collect
household level information including,
but not limited to, the following
categories: Housing unit type and extent
of damage to the dwelling, household
needs, physical and behavioral health
status, perception and response to
public health communications,
household emergency preparedness,
and greatest reported need. While a
majority of CASPERs collect only
household-level information, there may
be instances where the questionnaires
are modified to collect a small amount
of individual level data.
Participants give verbal consent.
Additionally, no data is collected that
could link specific questionnaires to

house addresses. Separate from the
questionnaire, a tracking form is used to
record the number of households
visited, calculate response rates, and
record households that should be
revisited because a respondent was
unavailable for interview. A complete
addresses, including house number,
street name, city, state, and zip code, are
never recorded on any form. This
information is not retained by CDC or
entered into any database. There is no
way to link data from the tracking form
to specific household questionnaires.
Though each CASPER will be
different, in general, personally
identifying information is not collected.
In a minimal number of CASPERs,
interview teams may come across
households with urgent needs that
present an immediate threat to life or
health, where calling emergency
services immediately is not appropriate.
In these instances, the team may refer

the household to appropriate services
using a referral form that is not attached
to the questionnaire. In the scant
instances where these forms are
utilized, personally identifying
information is collected. However, the
forms go directly from the field team to
the local CASPER coordinator for
handling and rapid follow-up. When
referral forms are used, the information
is never retained by CDC or entered into
any database. There is no way to link
specific questionnaires to any
information on the referral form.
The estimated annualized burden is
1,577 hours. The estimated burden is
based on conducting 15 CASPERs per
year, interviewing 210 households per
CASPER, conducting 30 minute
interviews per household, and
completing 50 referral forms per year.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.
